(Fix picked up from the cygwin package.) - - - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is - the sender, and the file-list is large. - - - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating - FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when - necessary. - - - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N. - - - One fork() call needed to check for and handle a failure. + - Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any + wildcards failed to match an absolute source arg, but only when + --relative is in effect. ENHANCEMENTS: - - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can - use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases. - - - Added the --max-size option (promoted from the patches dir). - - - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file (promoted from the - patches dir). - - - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except - that it copies identical files. - - - Added support for multiple --*-dest options (promoted from the - patches dir). - - - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options - so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible for a - user to start a daemon that had improper default option values that - could cause problems (a hang or an exit) when a client connects. - - - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon - to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value - that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option. - - - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received - file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the - partial file. - - BUILD CHANGES: - - - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev(). + - The support/rsyncstats script has an improved line-parsing regex that is + easier to read and also allows it to parse syslog-generated lines.
